Artificial intelligence is rapidly becoming part of everyday infrastructure–in some places. It helps write emails and software code, filters job applications, powers recommendation systems, and is increasingly being integrated into education, health care, finance, and public administration. Industry leaders talk about “AI for everyone,” while governments rush to publish national AI strategies and build sovereign compute. Yet over the past decade, working on digital inclusion and digital literacy

Earlier this month, OpenAI gave several of its AI models a task: complete a test designed to measure their cybersecurity capabilities.

Rules aimed only at downstream applications can make AI products less safe. Policymakers should hold both model makers and the companies building on them accountable.

In June, the U.S. government required Anthropic to restrict access to its two newest models by foreign nationals, citing national security and cybersecurity concerns. Unable to verify users’ nationality in real time, Anthropic temporarily withdrew access to the models for all users. A few weeks later, the Chinese company Moonshot AI released its Kimi K3 model, and then published its full model weights . Together, these episodes have reignited a familiar debate: How far can governments go in requ

This article presents a defense-in-depth approach for securing Model Context Protocol (MCP) deployments in production. It outlines four architectural control layers: safe execution, management infrastructure, outbound trust, and semantic integrity, arguing that production security requires enforcement beyond the gateway at the earliest trustworthy control points.

My first startup was a textbook-buyback service I founded along with several data nerd friends while at Johns Hopkins. Each week, we’d cram $10,000 of cash in a backpack (in retrospect, a terrible idea in urban Baltimore), put out a table on campus, buy textbooks from our fellow students using a pricing algorithm we built, and resell them for a profit online. Being nerds, we constantly tried to refine our algorithm. One day, we locked ourselves in a dorm room with lots of Cheetos, Mountain Dew,
